It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (Peach be upon him) said:

"Every good deed of the son of Adam will be multiplied manifold.Agood deed will be multiplied ten times up to as many as sevenhundredtimes, or as much as Allah wills. Allah says: `Except forfasting,which is for Me and I shall reward for it. He gives up hisdesire andhis food for My sake.' The fasting person has two joys, onewhen hebreaks his fast and another when he meets his Lord. The smellthatcomes from the mouth of a fasting person is better before Allahthanthe fragrance of musk."

IMPORTANT: All Scripture text has context and background. Scripture should never be read literally or in isolation. Always seek clarification from religious scholars and teachers. In general, Scripture adheres to four principles: (1) Literal Meaning - What the Scripture says (2) Historical Setting - The story events; how the Scripture was understood in its time (3) Grammar - The surrounding sentence and paragraph; textual context (4) Synthesis - A comparison with similar Scripture to give a better contextual understanding
